Alright, time to get back in the swing of things.
Would anyone be interested in Happy Hour followed by dinner in DC on Saturday, April 23? I know it's Easter eve, but it's the only weekend available for me until May 14-15 (and after that, nothing's free until June). We've not done a HH in the District for a while, so it's time for a return. Does anyone have suggestions for someplace casual that can handle a group like ours?

For suggestions I'd say that RFD is always safe. As long as we call ahead and aren't looking for something once the real
starts, a large group should be easy.Also, the House side of the Hill is often comparatively dead on weekend evenings and the upstairs space at Pour House (what used to be Top of the Hill for those who have been around town for a while) is still very nice and could accommodate a good sized group.

Based on interest so far, we may be a group of about 6 or so, so size of the venue may not be that much of a concern.
Any other suggestions? Who else might be joining us?
I'll consider this a tentative event for now, but hopefully can confirm it by Thursday.

I do have an activity later on Saturday evening however, I can stop by first for an hour if you're thinking of a place to meet in downtown DC.

Sorry guys, I hadn't checked the thread in a few days. I've had some things come up unexpectedly at work so it looks like I'll have to go into the office tomorrow. I'll do my best to stop by.
BTW, is anyone going to next weekend's Frequent Traveler University? I'll be there.

I'm sitting at the office now, and don't think I'll be finished with what I'm doing for quite a while, so I don't think I'll be able to make it, either. Sorry.
Why don't we postpone the event scheduled for today. I'll try to reschedule this event for another time -- maybe midweek in early May?

Greg,
Midweek early May sounds good to me.

Alright. Pencil Wednesday May 18 in for the next DC Happy Hour. Time and place still TBA, but plan on something in the District.
